Too little or too much electrolytes like sodium and potassium in the body can cause trouble.
As mentioned, Jake has much higher amounts of alkali elements, metals such as sodium and potassium, than previously analysed Martian rocks.
Nerve cells transmit their signals using electrically charged atoms (called ions) of sodium and potassium, which work rather like electrons in a metal wire.
Jake Matijevic was found to be high in elements consistent with the mineral feldspar, such as sodium and potassium, and low in elements such as magnesium and iron.
Their main finding was that a nerve impulse, now known as an action potential, is caused by the movement in opposite directions across the axon's surface membrane of sodium and potassium ions.
This may result from abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or an imbalance of electrolytes minerals such as sodium, potassium and calcium that maintain the balance of fluids in your body.
Current molten salt mixes are typically 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate.
Geochemically, NWA 7034 is dominated by alkali elements such as potassium and sodium.
It is the movement of potassium (and also sodium) ions that causes the electrical impulses that nerve cells carry including the impulses found in slow-wave sleep.
The second utilizes a highly selective media to capture more radioactive elements in the presence of ions other than sodium, such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium, also through ion exchange process.

The ions inside the axon are held out of equilibrium with those outside it (there are too many potassium ions within, and too few sodium).
Although coconut water is rich in potassium, it is low in carbohydrates and sodium- two potential issues for those who do endurance training or prolonged aerobic workouts.
If a person receives too much or too little fluid this can lead to problems such as fluid in the lungs, dangerously raised or lowered levels of potassium, sodium or nutrients such as glucose, and in some cases, heart failure.
Nu-Tek Salt has come up with a way to replace salt, or sodium chloride, in food with a proprietary crystal fashioned from potassium chloride and an organic acid. (see photo.) It tastes like salt, behaves like salt in recipes, and has the same texture and feel.
